Hi Guys, I listened to you several months ago, but have not made time to listen since. I must revise my plans to make time. What I read in your paper about the Community of stutterers rings so very true. Mankind, the human species, is a one great big social community. It is too big to act as one, yet, so there are many subdivisions. The first takes us down to Countries of the world. Each is further subdivided until we reach easily understood social groups eg a sporting team, with avid followers; a band or orchestra of musicians; a group of speakers (Toastmasters); a local group with a specific religious belief and many many more. Too often stutterers feel isolated and loners and cannot make themselves join any community. To hear about other stutterers and to join the stuttering community which, if you wish, can be truly International, is to return to the natural human feeling of belonging. To be part of an active confident community is heart warming. Keep up the good work. Most of us spend time typing, you spend time talking. Brilliant. Keith
